Step-by-Step Instructions for Brownie Cheesecake Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) while positioning the rack in the lower third.
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease it.
In a double boiler, melt the unsweetened chocolate and unsalted butter.
Whisk together the melted chocolate-butter mixture and granulated sugar, then add eggs one at a time.
Set aside about 1 cup of the brownie batter for swirling later.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and one egg until smooth.
Spoon the reserved brownie batter in dollops over the cheesecake layer and swirl them together.
Bake for 20 minutes covered with foil and then for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Let them cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
